11.5.11 letter

Family!! 10.31.11

What up! How's it hangin'? WOW! Last day of the month! Insane! Right now you guys are scaring people and giving candy out. I'm watching red glows grow and disappear as fires are started and put out.

Last night was the craziest. There was a glow over the city, sirens the whole night! Lots more shots fired, too. But these were kind of distant, so it wasn't too bad.

I'm writing this before bed, because we have had an adventurous day! So I get a chance to reflect on the whole day now.

This last week was actually pretty cool. We saw a lot of miracles. We picked up 3 new investigators, gave a blessing and gave 5 copies of the Book of Mormon all in one day. The area is picking up, so it's good. So that was last week in a bottle.

Today was good, too. We got a ride with Monty & got groceries, then mailed off the package you should have gotten before this letter! After that, he dropped us off at the bowling alley, so we could meet up with the rest of the district. We did our district activity, which was bowling... think I already said that, ha! But I had a blast bowling. Our district is us, Ferndale & Hamtramck. So us, the district leader and the zone leaders; kind of intimidating, but they're just regular missionaries that love to have fun, just like me! So it was interesting. :D Haha.

After we bowled, we had to go up to the Ferndale bike shop to get the gear cluster changed from the old rim to the replacement one CTR Bikes sent me. Well, we were on foot, and Ferndale elders weren't, so I sat on Elder Mo'unga's handlebar for 2 1/2 miles to the shop. My abs still hurt from laughing the whole way up there!

But, we got everything taken care of and started to head home. Well... on the way back, we were banking on catching a bus, but... we didn't see a single one! So we hoofed it 5 miles home & didn't make it to the library on time to catch the public computers. But... you'll have read that already, ha! That was the day!

But anyway... I got these protective strips for my tires that will prevent flats. They go between the tire & tube. They have a guarantee that if a puncture flat happens, they'll replace the liner & tube. So, I have installed them! My tires are theoretically bullet-proof... as long as they don't get shot! Ha.

So...................................... there's like a 95% chance that I'm gonna get transferred. Next transfer meeting is on Nov. 15th, so in about two weeks. We'll see! If I do transfer, I'll be in a new area for Christmas & Thanksgiving. Should be exciting!

Here are some treats for the kids... for ages 12 & under only. :( I got 'em for me, and then I read the stupid rules, ha. So they'd better enjoy 'em! :)

So, how's the ipod coming...? Just wonderin'. :)

Welp! I think that's about it for this letter. Oh, no word on the camera's memory card. I tried the word of mouth thing... we'll see if it works.

Tell everyone hi for me. Love you and keep you in my prayers.

Stay safe and stay chaste!
